B Cell Subsets and Atherosclerosis: Updates and Emerging Concepts

Immunological Reviews, Volume 339, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increasingly recognized not just as a lipid‐driven disease, but as a complex interplay between vascular cells and the immune system. Accumulating evidence highlights a central, yet heterogeneous role for B cells in atherogenesis, with distinct subsets displaying opposing roles.

The oxidized phospholipid oxPAPC protects from septic shock by targeting the non-canonical inflammasome in macrophages

Nature Communications, 2018
Non-canonical inflammasome activation is mediated by caspase-11 in mice and caspase-4 in humans. Here the authors show that oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine (oxPAPC) competes with LPS for binding to these caspases and in

Vacuum microcasting of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer for stable cell patterning

BioTechniques, 2020
This study demonstrates the rapid fabrication and utility of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer film for cell patterning. The film was obtained on a cell culture surface by microcasting MPC polymer ethanol solution into a degassed ...

Biosynthesis of retinal phospholipids: incorporation of radioactivity from labeled phosphorylcholine and cytidine diphosphate choline

Journal of Lipid Research, 1970
Phosphorylcholine-1,2-14C and choline-1,2-14C-labeled cytidine diphosphate choline are incorporated into lecithin by whole homogenates and particulate fractions of rat retina with optimal incorporation of label by the microsomal fraction.

SR‐B1‐Mediated Transplacental Transfer of Hydrophobic Toxicants Disrupts Fetal Development During Barriergenesis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 23, 23 April 2026.
This study maps the spatiotemporal distribution of hydrophobic toxicants and endogenous metabolites in the developing placenta and fetus. By integrating mass spectrometry imaging with snRNA‐seq, we identify SR‐B1 as a key transporter driving early‐gestation xenobiotic transfer and reveal a critical exposure window associated with persistent fetal ...

Choline metabolism and membrane formation in rat hepatoma cells grown in suspension culture. III. Choline transport and uptake by simple diffusion and lack of direct exchange with phosphatidylcholine

Journal of Lipid Research, 1971
The initial rate of incorporation of methyl-labeled choline into the acid-soluble pool (phosphorylcholine) of Novikoff hepatoma cells growing in suspension culture was investigated as a function of the choline concentration in the medium.

Ultraviolet-induced Surface Grafting of Octafluoropentyl Methacrylate on Polyether Ether Ketone for Inducing Antibiofilm Properties [PDF]

, 2017
Since octafluoropentyl methacrylate is an antifouling polymer, surface modification of polyether ether ketone with octafluoropentyl methacrylate is a practical approach to obtaining anti-biofilm biocompatible devices.
